This publication is the result of a year-long season of private meetings and public events about and around the work of David Hammons. It was held at CCA Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts, San Francisco, from September 9, 2016 to July 20, 2017.

The book begins with the transcript of a rare artist talk given by Hammons in 1994 at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, on the occasion of his exhibition there. It then introduces a series of photographs the artist sent to the Wattis Institute in 2017, interspersed with texts by the Bay Area poet Tongo Eisen-Martin and the writer and critic Fred Moten.
